Harmonic Highlights:

  • Establishes a minor tonic (Fm family) before transitioning to Fmaj7, creating a signature melancholic yet resolving character.
  • Features a non-diatonic bVII7 (Eb7) leading to a secondary dominant (D7 of Gm7), introducing unexpected harmonic twists.
  • Frequent deployment of dominant 7th chords (F7, G7, Eb7, D7) reflects strong blues influences and functions as transient modulations.
  • The G7sus to C7b9 progression serves as a classic V/V to V preparation, setting up the return to the tonic.

Improvisation Focus: Navigating the F Blues scale over both minor and major tonic areas, emphasizing arpeggios for dominant resolutions.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate). The intricate blend of minor-to-major tonality and non-diatonic dominant progressions requires sophisticated harmonic awareness.
